Rash

Evening all!

DS (13 months) had a slight fever yesterday (up to 38.4) which was controlled with calpol. There's no fever today but he's been a bit clingier and sleepier than normal. This evening I've noticed he has several flat pink 'spots' on his torso, not all that close to each other, a couple in his groin, one on his chin and some 'maybes' on his shoulders.

The first things that's leapt to mind is chickenpox, however he also had his MMR 21 days ago. Can anyone advise how soon will it become obvious which rash it is?!

I'm not sure re MMR.

Ds(4) had 2 teeny tiny pink spots on a saturday - they were blistered by the sunday afternoon and by monday he had loads of spots.

Dd on the other hand (17m) had blisters from the off and they all came out vvvvvvvvv quickly.
